Help!!! Learning to write a Windows driver

NTDEV
1

Hi all people,

Writing a Windows driver for a device is new to me. I have
both win2kddk.exe and wme_ddk.exe downloaded from the MS website and am
going to have it installed to experience driver writing. Kindly advise ;

  1. Which software I need install win2kddk.exe or wme_ddk.exe or both
  2. Could it/they run on Windows ME
  3. What other software I need to install simultaneously, Visual Basic 6.0,
    Visual J, etc ?
  4. What other attention I have to pay to during its/their installation and
    configuration for its/their running ?
  5. Whether its/their manual/tutorial from the help shall be sufficient for
    learning driver writing and/or use of the software ?

Thanks in advance.

B.Regards
Stephen Liu

Forget Visual Basic or Java. Drivers for Windows 2000 and beyond are written
in C/C++.

You do need the current driver writing books by Oney and Viscarola and
Mason, and above all you need to attend a seminar from anyone of the
following:

www.osr.com
